#1. If you don't own a Mac. leave. Or at least do us the courtesy of shutting up about stuff you don't know or have experience with.

#2. We are not talking about PPC Gentoo Linux. We are talking about installing Portage into OS X, not Gentoo Linux. The keyword for this is "ppc-macos".

#3. w.r.t. gaim - gaim has one ebuild which is unstable under ppc-macos (~ppc-macos). However, it has deps (nss is the first one it hits) that are not even marked ~ppc-macos. If these can be force-compiled (and work), maybe gaim could be emerged.

SickBoy has a point, where its confusing when people say "emerge gaim" worked fine for me. Then i launch iTerm and figure out why the hell it doesn't work for me. But you guys are talking about the gentoo ppc build, where as me and the original poster is talking about running the portage on OSX.
